I go to this place all the time the tacos are great the service is nice. I would recommend

Love this taco spot! We come here when we can for quick tacos and occasionally horchata. This is a permanent taco truck with some heated seating space also right in front of the truck. Parking is also available in the adjacent lot and nearby streets. Service is quick. Would recommend when yore craving a good spicy taco! Happy eating! read more

Tacos Pihuamo - Chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Best tacos I've had outside of Mexico! Great crew running the truck too. Love this place

It's been along time since I came to Tacos Pihuamo in Monroe. They have maintained their quality over the years! It's always a pleasure to revisit a place with fond memories. I ended up getting asada, carnitas, and pollo tacos. They were just as delicious i remembered read more

Seriously the best tacos in town! The guys are so nice and the food is amazing! Stop thinking about it and just do it.

These tacos might be good for the white folks in Monroe but as a Mexican these are some of the blandest and overcooked tacos I've ever had. There are better spots around. read more

Amazing, life changing tacos. I will dream about that quesabirria, and life will never be the same until I eat it again. Also very friendly service. read more

Very fast service, and when I was a bit short the last time I was in they were cool about it. Good people making good food, can't ask for much more. read more

A basic taco truck. The tacos are tasty. NO water glass. Seating is picnic benches. Extra charge for the credit card. Staff seems nice. The crowd is mainly blue collar Spanish speaking families , if you care. I am fine with it. read more

Decent taco truck with lots of easy parking. Really good food for the price. Our favorites are the lengua or the tripa as either taco or quesadillas. Big slice of avocado and a choice between shredded cabbage or lettuce. Outdoor seating or inside of a covered area. Can't miss it, just look for the big red Coca-Cola painted building read more

Tacos Pihuamo - two food trucks parked in a parking lot - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Best truck around, my family really enjoys taco trucks but our previous favorite has gotten too spendy, smaller portions and not so friendly anymore. We are so glad we tried Pihuamos, great food, great portions/quality and very appreciative of your business. Some of our favorites are their tacos, Tortas, burritos and tamales. read more

This is a good taco truck. Is it the best in Monroe? No. But it's good. I visited at lunch and had three tacos: asada, lengua, and carnitas. The asada was dry. Asada should never be dry. The lengua was good, middle of the road lengua. Good, not great. I've had worse and I've had better. That's a shame because they charge twice as much for a taco de lengua than the other meats (except for tripas). The carnitas was AMAZING. Absolutely some of the best carnitas--if not the best--I have ever tasted. Yum! The red and green sauces were both very tasty. Spicy and flavorful. I could not try the third sauce (also green) because it contained avocado (I'm allergic). I suspect it is also very good. The Yelp listing finally lists the correct address on E Main. The W Main address is for a house that will be a sit-down taqueria by the same people a few months from now. It's not open yet. The food truck is. And there is only one food truck. The #2 of the side of the truck just means it's their second truck. Truck #1 has been retired to serve only as a backup if there are problems with truck #2. This is a good truck and worth visiting if nearby, hungry, and wanting Mexican food. Nothing horribly wrong with it at all. Top 30%. Not top 10%. But worth visiting and supporting. read more

Our favorite tacos. Hours make it hard to acquire said tacos. They're often not open (truck or restaurant) when the posted hours state they should be read more

We ordered takeout last Monday. The rice was terrible... tasted like it was very old. The carnita enchiladas made me sick for two days. This place used to be so good. read more

I haven't been to this place in like 9 years, but I had to write a review on my experience.They had the best tasting carne asada tacos I've had to date. Green sauce, lime juice, onion and I would wolf like 5 of these down in a sitting. I'm glad to see they're still around. read more

Great service, and where else can you get a filling nine dollar lunch around here anymore. My only disappointment was the lack of flavor of the grilled pork burrito I ordered. A lot of rice and refried beans and hot jalapeño. read more

Wow! This place is awesome. The tacos are freshly made and so delicious. The Pork Carnitas are awesome! I recommend stopping by to get a good lunch at their newer building at 304 W Main Street. Bring a friend and spread the word! This is the casual lunch place to go!!! Keep them busy! read more

Tacos Pihuamo - Taco de pollo - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Just tried these tacos tonight. We ordered chicken tacos, spicy pork tacos and a cheese and chicken quesadilla. There were only two people ahead of us when we got there. Super quick and friendly service. The tacos came out super quick, ten minutes or less for sure, I didn't time it. The spot they are at makes me feel like I'm on vacation since it's located on Main Street and the building behind is painted with a Coca-Cola ad. Just feels like a cool spot to eat while in town. But the tacos were actually top 3 favorite I've ever had, and that includes actual tacos in Mexico. Highly recommend what we got, they also have yummy sodas and real sugar coke. I believe they had some Mexican style candy or goodies at the cart as well, a must see. read more

Tacos Pihuamo - Spicy pork tacos - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Note: this review is for the truck, not the restaurant. Quick, easy, affordable - one of the best taco trucks I've tried around here. I would like to try their restaurant (just down Main from their truck spot). But the truck is just so convenient. There's even a place to sit inside if it's raining. Hooray! Dry tacos! read more

I've reviewed this truck before, but I'm not sure where that review disappeared to. In short, for years and years, this was my go-to taco truck. Simply amazing. In the past year or so, the cooks are all different and the food isn't what it once was. I won't say its bad, but its fallen from its lofty place I once considered it to be in. read more

Really good taco truck in Monroe with excellent burritos. Try the green avocado sauce. It's delicious!

Everything we ate was fresh and delicious! Lined moved quickly and they were super friendly! Great local place to check out!! Any of the pork is amazing!! read more

Always amazing food. We get beef tacos, rice & beans, fried pork quesadilla and plain cheese quesadilla. I've been eating here since 2012 and I'm never disappointed. read more

Ask Seattleites about Monroe and you get these responses: "Home of the reformatory," "Hicksville," or "Louisiana?" It gets even worse when the subject is on food. The most common response is... "lots of bars" and to that, I retort that, "You don't know anything about Monroe because the bar/tavern/saloon scene is rather scarce-to-non-existent." The great little secret about Monroe is that it is a great place to buy a home for cheap. And, when there are plenty of affordable homes in a city with a strong police presence, you can bet gentrification will follow. And, with gentrification comes the added benefit of more authentic ethnic cuisines. Case in point is this stellar, simple taco truck resting under a massive (and newly painted) retro-bold red Coca-Cola advertisement on the side of the Monroe Laundry building, across from a 7-Eleven. Several of the local dames unanimously recommended this place so I had to go check it out. There's plenty of free parking and also a little "hut" in case of inclement weather. First off, this is a TACO truck so I ordered the gamut of the menu: asada (beef), adovada (spicy pork), lengua (tongue), cavesa (cheek), buches (grilled pork), carnitas (fried pork), pollo (chicken), and tripas (tripe). With the exception of tripas ($1.75), each taco costs only $1.25 and is double-wrapped with two hand-sized tortillas and topped with chopped cilantro, onion, and (I think) basil. When plated, they threw on a few slices of red radishes, lime slices, and a green jalapeno chile. Be extra careful as the jalapeno can vary from 1-star to 4-star heat. The boss said he gets it from the market and also doesn't know what to expect on any given day. For rescue operations, I highly recommend not a Mexican Coca-Cola but their home-brewed horchata drink. It is a good one. The tacos are fresh with tasty meat and herbs and do not need additional seasoning, although they do supply Tapatio at the tables. These are real tacos; not the faux-Mexican lifeless versions at the international franchises. Is it worth the 15 minute drive on Hwy. 522? Hell to the yes, it is! You'll get full on just three or four tacos. That's five bucks. Other comida Mexicana offerings include: burritos, tortas, quesadillas, and sopes. Real Mexican food prepared with love by its people. read more

Tacos Pihuamo - A four-taco plate - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Legit Mexican tacos. Don't even bother going anywhere else - this place is the best by far.

I have been to this truck three times. First time they sold my order to someone else so I got refund and left . Next time order was wrong and meat wasn't fresh. This last time the meat was not fresh again and the tortillas were cold and hard. Do not recommend ever. I honestly tried to give them a chance. read more

One of my favorite taco trucks EVER. I always order their chicken burrito and put their avocado sauce on as I eat and OMG it's the best. Their burritos are huge and only $6. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I got the veggie burrito after climbing at nearby Index. The good: +Delicious, straightforward food. +The hot sauce was really hot. +Fast and great value. +Credit cards accepted with a 50 cents fee. Not as good: -The burrito was not assembled in such a way as to facilitate one-handed eating. No big deal since I shouldn't be driving and eating. :) It made a big mess in the car. Summary: Stop by for fast, good food! read more

Fast, high quality meats!! Love the tacos & sopas.....plus the staff are always friendly and helpful.

This is a family review. Dad: Loves the fact that a) it's a full meal b) it's tasty c) it's $3. Makes leaving a 25% tip feel like being a cheapskate. The taco 'wagon' Pihuamo is truly a great value. I eat lunch there probably 1x/week or so. The burritos are good, the tacos are GREAT. Beef good, Asada much better tasting. Spicy pork is also excellent. They also give you cilantro and fresh lime with everything- great stuff. The only things keeping me from 5 star is.... well, it's jut not 5 star. It IS a bus, people. And the red hot sauce is actually not all that tasty, but you can pass on it and get the green, which is great. The people are also very nice and courteous and plenty of drink variety. LOVE the taco bus. 12 year old daughter- Way better than XXXXXXX in town. I love their beef tacos and order them every time. Mom- not the traditional fattening ameri-mexi-tex food. Love the fresh ingredients and the non-cheese usage. Makes it an authentic, tasty treat. Now here's the kicker- one of our family friend's kids who typically only would dig chicken nuggets/hot dogs, etc. is a CONVERT. We didn't give him an option one night, he reluctantly had a beef taco and now asks his parents to take him to the taco bus. Word up! read more

Wow this place is so delicious, fast, and they are very friendly. I was with two other people and we were all very pleased with our food. Every thing you would want from taco truck! read more

Anyone who says "There's no good Mexican food in WA" apparently only eats at Azteca, because that is simply not the case if you consider places like Tacos Pihuamo. I lived in Socal and I still think this place is right up there with some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. And since I am eating this right now? I would say it is potentially even better. On top of that, the prices can hardly be beaten. There's apparently a few other great taco trucks in town as well, but I don't know that I'll ever bother. I've found my taco truck. read more

A great Taco truck right in the middle of downtown Monroe! The prices are great, the food is great, and service is friendly! Also, unlike a lot of trucks, they accept credit cards, which can be a huge plus! Burritos are good and big, the Torta Cubanas is delish and loaded up, all of the offerings I've tried have been good and a great value! Tacos are also cheap and delish! Priced great, easy location with plenty of parking, a great covered dining area, and delicious food make this a great lunch stop (or snack stop, dinner stop [not sure what time they're open to, it's my lunch stop]) and I'll def be back! read more

Great street tacos, as well as some items that you don't see at the usual Taco trucks. Love the cabeza and tripa they serve. Sopes militas all great!! Can't go wrong. read more

Taco trucks at their finest!

There's nothing not to like about a taco truck; you can't possibly get your hopes up too high so a getting a great taco or torta at one is like finding money. Now, a lunch at Pihuamo isn't like finding a hundred, it's more like finding a ten. Which just happens to be less that you'll pay for the meal so in all it's a great outing. Pihuamo has the usual assortment of tacos, tortas, and quesadillas along with a great beverage selection. A covered tent provides a place to sit out of the rain; I wish we had this kind of setup in one of the too many empty lots in downtown Redmond. For the tacos: the fried pork comes off a bit dry, the adovada is better, chicken is nicely spiced and tender, quesadillas are too cheesy but are made with great flour tortillas and served with a little wedge of avocado. Make sure you get some of the salsa verde if you are taking your tacos or burrito to go. read more

I really enjoy this place. Easy bite to grab and full of flavor. Meat selection is good and they are consistent with the quality. read more

YES. A THOUSAND YESSES. My friends and I stopped here on our way to Leavenworth a few weekends ago--wanting some place inexpensive and quick, and this place was both. And had awesome food to boot. I had a burrito--it was pretty stinking big, and delicious. I didn't finish it, it was that large. They even have a covered, heated seating area--despite being a food truck. Highly recommended. read more
